How carbon tax works. Follow me on my adventure…
Pretend there are 5 people living in Canada and this is what they make annually:
Gertrude: $500,000
William: $400,000
Suzy: $50,000
Spencer: $40,000
Dwight: $30,000
Gertrude and William own all the stores and sell grocery, clothes and industrial supplies to Suzy, Spencer and Dwight.
This is what these 5 will pay in Carbon Tax:
Gertrude: $5000
William: $4,000
Suzy: $800
Spencer: $600
Dwight: $500
This is will be their ‘rebates’:
Gertrude: $0
William: $0
Suzy: $850
Spencer: $630
Dwight: $520
Suzy, Spencer and Dwight love the carbon tax. They got more money back than they paid (so they think). It’s like a lottery. Super awesome.
Gertrude and William got screwed.
The Supreme Emperor who invented the carbon tax, doesn’t care about Gertrude and William though. He just needs the support of the other three to stay in power.
The Supreme Emperor also knows that like him, Suzy, Spencer and Dwight aren’t very good at math and can’t figure out that their entire cost of living has increased, because Gertrude and William just raised the price of everything because the Carbon Tax made their cost of doing business more expensive. Because they pay more carbon tax and don’t get a rebate.
Suzy, Spencer and Dwight keep voting for the Supreme Emperor, because they like ‘free money’.
Gertrude and William vote to have the Supreme Emperor removed from power and Suzy, Spenser and Dwight get upset. They don’t understand why Gertrude and William despise the Supreme Emperor who gives out free money like candy.
The thing is… Suzy, Spenser and Dwight don’t even know that Gertrude and William don’t get a rebate and had to increase prices on everything, because they only watch CBC.
The End.
Something really cool that not many know about is that if you vote for one political party for years because you respect their policies and leadership, and then that changes and they’ve let you down, you don’t need to still vote for them every election for the rest of your life.
Remember when u were 7 & you’d play monopoly....it was really fun when u had a lot of money but then your brother started beating u & when you realized you were gonna lose you flipped the board off the table....apparently one President never grew out of that

would be huge for the MLB to find a way to get going so we can ease back into watching sports with seeing some Houston astros get smoked in the knees with 100 mph fastballs
